SOP for amending ... rule #1 ... do NOT amend a return when the original is still being processed by the IRS. You MUST WAIT for the original return AND any changes being made by the IRS to be completed since column A on a form 1040X must match the last information the IRS has on file for you. If you try to amend before this the IRS will either reject the 1040X OR this will take much longer to process than the usual 4 to 6 months. PLEASE don't be in a hurry to get the extra money since that will backfire on you ... patience while everyone is navigating this unprecedented situation.
